During the Cardinals game on Sunday, Devin White, the linebacker for Detroit Lions, suffered a forearm injury that required him to be carted off the field. White, a former fifth round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2019, had one tackle for the Lions during the game. The injury, which he suffered from a direct blow to his left forearm, initially appeared to be a contusion.
However, an X-ray scan was conducted to rule out a fracture. White is a key player for the Lions and his injury adds to their growing list of defensive setbacks.
